Karen loves to learn and discover new things! She has been involved in education in various ways throughout her adult life. She has taught students in private schools from preschool through high school, as well as a homeschool mom of two sons. While her sons were growing up and being homeschooled, she moved into part-time involvement in church preschool programs. With her sons now productive adults, she is excited to be back in the classroom exploring the world with students through creative and engaging activities while opening up opportunities for kids to develop their skills and build connections with others.

Amy grew up in Southern California where she met and married her husband, David. They moved to Northern California in 1998 to be closer to family and enjoy a slower pace. Following a 15 year career in the health and fitness industry, Amy started a business teaching Gymnastics & Dance to young children and returned to school to earn her B.A. Degree in Child Development from CSUS. Through her schooling, she became intrigued by the development of the young brain, especially in the areas of social and emotional growth, which inspired her to begin teaching an all day homeschool enrichment class for Kinders. Amy and David homeschooled their only daughter, Rachel, for four years and recalls those years as being some of the best of her life!
